Texturable

Hi Everybody!!

I'm going to tell you a little about myself and my work!

I am a mother of 26 years old, entrepreneur and lover of creating. I live
in Punta Rubia (Rocha), on the east coast of Uruguay, with my boyfriend and our
son that is almost two years old. Surrounded by nature, I sleep with the sound
of the ocean and wake up every day looking at its immensity. I think I'm the
luckiest person in the world and I am achieving a good balance between the two
things I love most in life: family and fashion.

Right now I'm doing my thesis on dyed wool in order to graduate as an
Industrial Textile Designer and in a few years I would like to continue
studying.

My brand started the last year of my schooling (2009), with my graduation
collection named "Texturable". I had amazing feedback from my
teachers and people in general and the collection sold out immediately. I
started to sell other versions of the collection, which had the same results. As texturable
means sustainable textures (from the Spanish “texturas sustentables”), I kept working
with that concept. I decided to use the name that I already had and build the
brand from there. I always knew I wanted to work by myself and this gave me the
opportunity to develop something I love to do, with something that people want
and like.

Why are my pieces special? First of all, I make most of the materials used in
the clothes and different items I design. I do research, develop and create
textures that are later applied to the different collections. That's why the
starting point goes further than just choosing a genre to make an outfit. Each
item is conceived from its material until the last detail. My items are completely handcrafted. Felts, dyes, embroideries, everything is
handmade; I create everything with dedication and patience. Occasionally I work
with other people, mainly for big productions or in making shoes, but I always
have the rule of making everything first by myself. Most of my items are one of a kind, meaning they are unique as a result of its handcrafted
production, which provides singularity and relevance to every piece of clothing.
All my clothes carry energy and expression and, in this sense, I try to put all
my dedication toward expressing that in who will wear it.

I hope you enjoy these words and thanks to Jenny for giving me the space to
let you know a little about what Texturable is!
